What? The tape gum, the hand sanitizer, or the rear-view bunny?

Lol, it's not tape gum, it's a 100 piece value pack 😂

The steering wheel, fake mt shift boot, and floor mats are in sync.

Beautiful interior. Jealous of your undamaged driver seat.

Are you going to go leather on the center lid, or did you do that already?

Haven't done it yet, however, I am considering it. I just talked to Redline about an airbag cover ... cover, but unfortunately, they said they've tried before and the stitching doesn't hold well because of how it attaches.
As for the undamaged seat, I think thats just the terrible underground lighting and phone flash. It has some wrinkles on the left side and a few small scratches from metal zippers and stuff under the butt.

11 year old paint looking brand new after 3 stage correction and ceramic coating. I can’t stop looking at it.

Most shops would probably charge around $1500 for the amount of labor that this took. It really just depends on the condition of the paint beforehand. I do bodywork for a living and I’m really picky when it comes to black so I really wanted to get it as perfect as I could.

If you’re not familiar with paint correction the first thing you need to know is that it’s a very time consuming process. There’s 25 hours of labor in just polishing time here, but I went for the maximum amount of correction I could achieve and really pushed the clear as much as I was comfortable with.

If you’re not after perfection, or your paint isn’t as damaged, a simple one stage polish and coating would show drastic improvement in the overall finish and gloss. Most detailers are around $1000 for that amount of labor. Find you a detailer without the overhead of a large shop and you could probably get it done for $750.

Here’s a post that includes some before and afters showing the extent of the damage if you’re interested.

I thought I'd throw mine in, finally starting to not look like a **** box after I ****ed up a diy paint job. Just got new wheels today. For whatever reason the last pic wasn't as good.

I just had my height adjusted at that time and I barely drive the G now. I had my buddy take some photos with his camera two weeks ago, will upload when he sends em to me.
Shoot I don't remember my height off ground measurement at the moment.
You said you running +22 in rear, I'm running +32, so yours is coming out 10 more than mine. With that you have to be lower than me or/and run a smaller tire or both I believe.
